AIR POLLUTION IN PORTS AND ITS EFFECT ON CARGO OPERATION (ALEX HARBOUR AS CASE OF STUDY)

Harbor labor health and their efforts rate is one of the major factors that affect on cargo operation and its development plans, Labors health can be affected by many factors such as oxygen lake in surrounding atmosphere due to air pollution which cause many health problems such as respiratory system diseases and the weakness of their mutation system. All the previous lead us to the conclusion that we should control these factors before establishing any harbor development plans by investigating the surrounding atmosphere and establishing assessment technique and monitoring system to avoid its serious negative effects. This research aimed to find the relation between sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and suspended particulate matter existing in air and Alex harbor labors efforts rate in order to find the exact recommendations for avoiding such problem and to construct reliable monitoring system for it.
